Hi, We are currently building a 10 x 2.5 pool that will have decking and a fascia board to the edge of the water with no coping. We will be using old pieces of spotted gum around the edge that have already lost their tannins. We have had conflicting advice as to whether we need a waterline tile or whether we can just run the pebble Crete up behind the fascia board for a more seamless look. We are aware of the possible scum line and cracking of pebblecrete out of the water but wonder if this will be a problem if we have a fascia board going down to the pool? we are considering spending a bit more money on a glass pebblecrete which looks nicer and we imagine will be easier to clean? Any advice much appreciated

I have used them on the north facing wall of a skylight shaft at the top, just below a Velux window.. You don't really notice them unless you look up the shaft but they do bounce a lot of extra light down the shaft. I have done this for an internal laundry and ensuite where there are no windows, and as a result neither of these rooms seem dark or gloomy during the day.

after tiling to the ceiling in my high ceiling old bathroom i've decided that "next time" i would prefer to keep the tiles in line with the top of the architraves around doors and windows...tiles are there for a long time and so many tiles make me feel like i'm in a public bathroom and although i love the look of the new bathroom i miss the opportunity for some colour and/or texture with paint or wallpaper that can be changed so much more easily, cheaply and more often that extra high tiled walls

They look like they line up below the shelf. What is the other corner like? I would want them to line up but you have a change in tiles as well as the shelf so I wouldn’t automatically expect it without instructions to the tiler.
